Mark,
You said:

But what the three persons ‘did’ at creation was not the same.

You see such a division in the “roles” that perhaps you think that the Trinity cannot do things together the same time, the same way.

But what about the resurrection of Jesus? The Bible specifically says that the Father raised Jesus, the Son raised Himself and the Holy Spirit raised Jesus. If they can function in the same way in the resurrection and still be unique individuals in the ONE God, then why do you make different roles to be the only way that they are distinguishable? Were they not individuals still when they worked at the same job? I think that you have a faulty view of who God is and I think you are imposing a restriction on Him that is not in the Scripture.

2. You have not given any reason as to why i see Jesus as supposedly ‘lesser’. Are you reading into what i have said?

A hierarchy consists of a greater and lesser authority. If indeed the Father has the supreme authority and Jesus submits to that authority, then Jesus has less of the essential nature of all authority. A hierarchy cannot exist if each has the exact authority and the exact will.
